Rotary-affiliated charities respond
For those looking to donate or support the immediate response to the disaster, we recommend supporting one of the Rotary-affiliated response charities outlined below.
The Rotary Foundation
At the time of sending this newsletter, Rotary International publish member-led response efforts on their website. If members in Great Britain and Ireland wish to contribute to The Rotary Foundation’s general Disaster Response Fund, they can do so through Rotary Foundation United Kingdom (RFUK).
ShelterBox
ShelterBox, Rotary’s global partner in disaster response, is working with partners in the region to understand the scale of the disaster, identify the number of people affected and assess what support communities need most.
ShelterBox last responded in Nepal in 2015 following two powerful earthquakes. They worked with Rotary to deliver emergency shelter to almost 68,000 people.
Follow updates on their appeal and donate on their website.
Aquabox
Aquabox is an emergency response charity originating from Wirksworth Rotary Club in Derbyshire, specialising in clean water.
The charity is urgently assessing needs with their partners on the ground, including organisations and Rotary clubs based in some of the worst-affected areas.
They stand ready to deploy existing water filter stocks, which would support 15,000 people displaced after the floods.
